I was the same as Steelz...I REALLY wanted Ivory until he was tagged with a 2nd round tender. But if the Jets are offering a lower pick for Ivory..why can't we? He'd be the speedy back that Haley wants for his scheme. Where do I sign? Ahmad Bradshaw would be the ideal back I'd want though.

Learn something every day. I did not know that a player with a RFA tag could be acquired for less.

In other words when TS were shopping Wallace around last year they could have made a deal for a little less like maybe a 2nd rd pick or a little lower. Hey! Better than what they got as it was.

Anyhow, the article said "Ivory was the Saints' leading rusher in 2010 with 716 yards, but he has been plagued by injuries and slipped to fourth on the depth chart, behind Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles. If the Saints retain Ivory, they could decide to cut ties with Thomas.

Thomas is a real good one, but he did finish the season on IR.

But really though, What is this crap? TS started last season with a suspect RB corp since the presumed starter was out on IR. That did not work out so good did it? So now they are attempting to duplicate that effort? This is starting to get comical.

Lately I have been seeing a lot of fan comments suggesting something is amiss in the FO. Not for one second do I believe anything has really changed. But it is possible the "organization is in a little slump" however, even some of us total believers are starting to get a little leery.

Like Shoe said this draft should take care of the RB situation.

Orrrr--Willie where you been? Have you been watching? Are the wheels back on?

I don't know if he's worth it or not, but one thing is for sure you have a lot more film of Ivory as an NFL running back than you do a 6th round draft choice. A 6th wouldn't be a horrible price to pay if you believe he can help your team and the running back situation.

If we could acquire Pierre Thomas for a 5th or 6th I would do that in a heartbeat.
